6th Monolith Summer School & Symposium to be held on May 30th - June 4th, 2014, Slovenia

Ajdovščina, Slovenia, May 14, 2013 / B3C newswire / – The 6th Monolith Summer School and Symposium (MSS) will be held from May to June 2014 in Slovenia. Attendees will have an excellent opportunity to expand their scientific knowledge and gain insight into the recent discoveries in the area of large biomolecule purification. Numerous meetings and social events will provide an opportunity to interact with top scientists and leading chromatography experts from around the world.

The event will start with the Monolith School, where participants will learn about the fundamentals of Monolith Chromatography and see how monoliths are applied in practice. In this part of the event, various hands-on workshops on the purification of proteins and viruses will be held. The program is designed for those who are not familiar with this technology and for those who want to get a better practical insight into the advantageous world of monoliths.

The Monolith Symposium will consist of several sessions, starting with lectures about the novelties in monolith preparation e.g. polymerization, modification, functionalization, followed by Upstream, Downstream, and the Analytics of proteins, viruses, and virus-like particles.

Abstracts for oral presentations should be submitted by November 15th, 2013 and for posters by March 31st, 2014.
